Many of you coming to the site will notice a new tab off to the right called The Edge which we’ve just launched.  The Edge as the name implies is intended to help provide site visitors and our members with the latest thinking and insights on project, corporate, product and IT portfolio management. 

We are inviting practitioners and subject matter experts to post articles on The Edge and have also unveiled functionality that lets people host blogs on the CPMA. 

Hosting a blog on the CPMA is a great way to get your ideas and insights in front of a large audience very quickly.  The CPMA now has 170+ members and continues to grow at 3-5 companies per week.  In addition, we remain the #1 term on the search engines under the term “corporate portfolio management” out of over 6 million results.  This obviously drives significant traffic to the site.

We know many of you out there have expertise that would benefit our members and site visitors, and The Edge represents a great way for you to get your expertise out there quickly and efficiently.  There is no point in having a blog if nobody will see it, right?  Having a blog on The Edge ensures your blog will have an audience.

Submitting an article or setting up a blog is free.  You just need to sign up which takes less than five minutes. 

To become a CPMA blogger, you can visit the following link.  Bloggers can also post articles.

We are very proud to announce the launch of the CPMA’s member portal.  The portal is consistent with our aim of providing a forum for members to learn from one another and exchange information & knowledge.

 The CPMA Member Portal contains various tools, presentations and articles contributed by our members.  It is only available to members who can access the content after logging into the portal.

If you are a member already and haven’t gotten access to the portal, you can click here to register.  Be sure to use the corporate email address you used when you took the member survey to become a member.

Like the CPMA, the member portal is only open to practitioners so if you are not a member currently but would like to become one, you can do so for FREE by taking the member survey which is located here.

We look forward to seeing the Member Portal grow and having members exchange information and ideas with one another.
